Recently, I got an idea for making home-brew rules for my Chapter Master of the Burning Blades (my DIY chapter)
He is only referred to as 'Grand Prometheal'
Mostly because I haven't found an adequate name for him yet, but below is his stat line.
| WS | BS | S | W | I | A | Ld | Sv |
| 7 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 10 | 2+ |
Chapter Relics: Evaryn and Xenosious
Flame of Deliverance
Special Rules:
And They Shall Know No Fear Chapter Tactics (Burning Blades) As per the rules for all Chapters who do not know their primogenitor Chapter, the Burning Blades do not have a unique Chapter Tactic. Instead, the player can elect to use any existing Chapter Tactics from Codex: Space Marines and any Forge World supplements.
Independent Character Orbital Bombardment Honour or Death I Refuse to Fall: When the Grand Prometheal is reduced to 1 wound, he can elect to Refuse to Fall. When he does, he receives a 5+ Feel No Pain, and Hatred until your next turn. However, if the opposing player slays him while in this state, he scores 2 Victory Points, and units within 6” of his last position receive -1 to their Leadership
Flying Assault: For 10 points, you unlock the ability to equip the Honour Guard with Jump Packs. Note that you still have to pay for the jump pack upgrade on the squad
Flame of Deliverance: This is a Jump Pack, which gives the Prometheal’s Hammer of Wrath +1 Strength. In addition, once per game, he can force the pack into overdrive, receiving +2” to his movement, run and charge range, as well as his Hammer of Wrath receiving the Soul Blaze special rule for the remainder of the turn.
Here is a rule I made for slight balancing
Spoiler:
Before he initiates Overdrive, roll a D6. On a 2+, nothing happens, but on a 1, the coolants in his jump pack have been pushed too far. Roll a further D6. On a 4,5 or 6, the emergency coolants have worked; all is well. However, on a 1, 2 or 3, the coolants fail, and he takes a S5 AP3 hit, and cannot use his jump pack for the remainder of the turn.
Evaryn and Xenosious: Each blade can be used as a melee weapon with the following profile.
Range S AP Type[/u]
- User 3 Melee, Master Crafted, Killstrike
Killstrike: The Prometheal concentrates the power of the dual blades, into one single, powerful attack. If so, his has +2 Strength, and the attack has AP2 and the Fleshbane Special Rule
Any and all feedback welcome, as well as a suggested points cost.
